Psalms 126

1 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.

Ingoma yemiqanso. Kwathi lapho uThixo ebuyisa izithunjwa eZiyoni, sasinjengabantu abaphuphayo.

2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD has done great things for them.

Imilomo yethu yayigcwele ngohleko, lezindimi zethu zicula izingoma zentokozo. Basebesithi abezizwe, “UThixo ubenzele izinto ezimangalisayo.”

3 The LORD has done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

UThixo usenzele izinto ezimangalisayo, ngakho siyathokoza kakhulu.

4 Return our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south.

Buyisa ukuphumelela kwethu, Oh Thixo, njengemifula eseNegebi.

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Labo abahlanyela ngezinyembezi bazavuna ngezingoma zentokozo.

6 He that goes forth and weeps, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Lowo ophuma ekhala, ethwele inhlanyelo ukuba ayehlanyela uzabuya ngezingoma zentokozo, ethwele izinyanda.
